Modified OXIS Classification of Interproximal Contacts of Primary Canines and Its Prevalence in Six-to-Nine-Year-Olds in the Delhi National Capital Region: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: The modified OXIS (O - open contact, X - point contact, I - straight contact, S - curved contact) classification provides a useful framework for assessing interproximal contacts in primary canines and predicting caries risk. The study aimed to assess the incidence of modified OXIS classification of canine interproximal contacts in six-to-nine-year-old children from the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR) population.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the interproximal contact areas between primary canine and first molar among six-to-nine-year-old children (n=400) according to the modified OXIS classification using the die stone study model.

Relationship between Maternal Prenatal Vitamin D Status and Early Childhood Caries in Their Children: A Cross-sectional Survey.

Background: Vitamin D deficiency in expectant mothers is very common in India. As a consequence, the possibility of hypoplasia of teeth and resultant propensity for faster progression of early childhood caries (ECC) is expected to be higher in Indian children.

Aim: This study aimed to determine the relationship between prenatal vitamin D intake of mothers and dental caries experience in their preschool children, and whether vitamin D deficiency in mothers could be a risk factor for tooth decay in their children.
